Orbital Weapons (laser, missle ...)

What?

First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I was thinking about the possibility to shoot from a space platform to a planet, with a point-to-click like the artillery target remote.
Weapons like laser or giant missle, with a high cost for building/maintenance.

Why?

This should be good vs big worms or big groups of enemy in all the planets.

There are mods that have such weapons.

Here's one example:
